And Anyway, Who Wears A Tiara On

Women Attribute Their Success To Working Hard, Luck, And Help From Other People. Men Will Attribute That - Whatever Success They Have, That Same Success - To Their Own Core Skills.

I Realized That Searching For A Mentor Has Become The Professional Equivalent Of Waiting For Prince Charming. We All Grew Up On The Fairy Tale "seeping Beauty," Which Instructs Young Women That If They Just Wait For Their Prince To Arrive, They Will Be Kissed And Whisked Away On A White Horse To Live Happily Ever After. Now Young Women Are Told That If They Can Just Find The Right Mentor, They Will Be Pushed Up The Ladder And Whisked Away To The Corner Office To Live Happily Ever After. Once Again, We Are Teaching Women To Be Too Dependent On Others.

I Think Now Is Our Time. My Mother Was Told By Everyone That She Had Two Choices: She Could Be A Nurse Or A Teacher. The External Barriers Now Are Just So Much Lower. If We Start Acknowledging What The Real Issues Are, We Can Solve Them. It's Not That Hard.

It's Hard To Visualize Someone As A Leader, If She Is Always Waiting To Be Told What To Do.

Excel And You Will Get A Mentor.
